People are posting such creative ideas on Facebook...this die was only available a few weeks ago and it has inspired a lot of fresh ideas.

Leone, how big is that die? My Vagabond won't cut anything wider than just over 6". The examples look lovely, though. And what exactly does the die cut? Is it just the page shapes? The backing? Wondering if I couldn't make a template for smaller cards with the same basic design.

Hmmm..that looks similar to a die I bought from AE last year. I haven't used it yet, though! I originally bought it to make a little book as a cake topper. I was going to put pictures of the parents-to-be on the pages.
*ETA: I looked up the item on HSN and watched some of the presentation video. The sample was beautiful, and I like how they include the accessories.

Hmmm..that looks similar to a die I bought from AE last year. Same, I have a set of 'book dies' from AliExpress that make a similar page shape. It's quite nice, there's six large ones that range from 12-15cm wide, and six smalls from 5cm to just over 1cm wide. I think there were some tags or other bits that came with it too. *digs in Purchased folder* Aha, yep! These:

Does look similar. I can’t say what the size is as I haven’t tried it yet. I am just enjoying all the creative postings as people are really excited about their projects. It’s suppose to fit thru the Gemini Jr. so that may give you an idea as to size. I have been busy finishing up making Anna Griffin easel card kit...I am making them all Easter cards...they are turning out gorgeous and super easy to make. Will post later.

The dies cut the book pages. Plus there is a bookmark tag, a key and a pretty decoration. People are often putting three dimensional flowers on them.

Would love to see your Anna Griffin easel Easter cards. I have ooohed over results from her card dies in the past, but I am not sure I have the patience or skill to cut all the pieces and assemble correctly. Do you have a link to the Storybook die set?

Just go to hsn.com and search Crafters Companion storybook die. There is a video too. It was $24.95 on craft day when they have $5 shipping for the entire day. As far as the Anna Griffin easel die set, it was probably the easiest of all her kits yet they are gorgeous. I had ordered the Easter Embellishment set and used a lot of them to turn them into Easter cards. But the basic card kit had a few Easter but Mother’s Day, Birthdays, etc. honestly, you didn’t even need to have your own adhesive, the kit was so complete and easy. I got carried away, made them all in three days, then rushed to order the previous easel kit that is Valentines. Apparently, the easel kits were on auto ship but I had passed them up whenever they first were introduced. Next 24 hour craft day is May 7. They are getting too much of my money lately...but there are no scrapbook stores around anymore so I’m glad to be seeing new things and it is getting me out of my comfort zone. Most of the Anna Griffin kits are actually too easy. The stuff from Crafters Companion often has me watching a video two or three times to make a project.
